Sucré Lulu™ {Review & Giveaway!}

When I first saw the beautiful creations Sucré Lulu™ had to offer I was floored. Sucré Lulu is a vintage inspired boutique with flair. Her shop will have you wanting absolutely everything! From her large selection of hair accessories--for both your little girls and for you, to the boy shorts that are to-die-for-cute, to the tees, tanks and onesies--you'll fall in love just like I did.

Sucré Lulu got started when owner Theresa had a hobby and it quickly evolved into a great success. Her husband serves in the US military and while he is deployed overseas fighting for our country she found sewing to be very therapeutic. She started refashioning t-shirts for herself and adding appliques to dresses and t-shirts for her daughter as well as adding appliques to onesies for baby shower gifts. Once her family and friends were seeing her beautiful items orders were rolling in with requests. Soon after that a friend requested Theresa to design tank tops for her business. The friend got featured on the news wearing one of the tanks and was asked who made them and gave them Theresa's name. Within weeks of the friend's interview two local media stations were at Theresa's home--interviewing her! Seriously awesome! I love how wonderful it came out.

Also a plus? Every single item is unique--as in there are no two things alike. Everything is handmade--which means that if you like to have items for yourself or your children that are unique? You're in luck! There is seriously nothing worse than showing up at a play date for your little one to match another child there.

When I received my items in the mail I immediately saw what everyone else saw in her items--they are gorgeous! That term doesn't give her enough credit--I loved everything so, so much.

First up is the beautiful headband. Isabella automatically fell in love with it and she loves to wear it. It was beautiful on her--and I love how easy it was to put in her hair without her screaming at me. The headband was made to withstand little ones' hands that is for sure. With Isabella being 2 I almost tried it on myself for the pics, but once she saw it she claimed it as her own. Gorgeous and made extremely well, I recommend this to anyone wanting a sweet accessory for the hair.

Next up is a gorgeous hair accessory that had a two-prong clip on the back. Perfect for Isabella's hair. I have to say that Madelyn was a little jealous during all of this. She wanted to wear the clip so bad, but I knew once I found a headband {poor thing doesn't have enough hair yet} and placed on her head to take pictures that she would be done. Anyhow, this clip is gorgeous. The quality of the vintage flower and hair barrette are wonderful. This stayed in place while Isabella was jumping around, dancing and acting all crazy. Also a great accessory for pictures or a wedding.

Last, but certainly not least, were the two hair pins for myself. I find it ironic a few weeks ago I answered one of the reader questions and I mentioned how much I love Anthropologie....just not their prices. The pins that I received for my hair totally reminded me of Anthro! Love them. I could see myself wearing these to the park, on a romantic date with Leo...anywhere. You can wear them with anything, too. Wearing jeans and a tee and want a touch of femininity? Going to a wedding? Family photos outside? These are perfect for them all--and more.
